VERY GREAT CITIES.

Those Whose Population Is Placed 1T One
Million and Upward.
Cities with l. 900. 600 inhabitants and
upward have never been plentiful In
any age Of the world. and their num-
Der is very limited now. There are
four such cities in Europe. three or
four in Asia, and but one on this con-
tinent. The doubt IN regard to the
number in Asia arises from the fact
that it is difficult to determine whether
the claim Of Marking to 1.OO0 900 In
habitants is correct or not. Assuming
it, however, to be just, the rank of the
very great cities of the world, based
on the censuses OF 1880 and 1888 l.
would stand as follows: London, 4. 766. :
661; Paris. 2 269 023; Canton. l. $780,
600; New York. 1. FOG. 500; Toxic. 1,14O.-

Ivory in London.

One of tho most interesting sights
in the warehouse is the ivory-room.
Here are lying by the hundreds tusks
Of elephants. tusks Of wild boars, horns
of rhinoceros. and teeth Of the hippo
potamus. There are elephants tusks
ten feet in length and weighing one
hundred and fifty pounds. There are
hippopotamus teeth nearly two feet
long. The elephant tusk of course, fur
nishes by far the finest quality OF ivory
and there is also great difference in
the elephant-the elephant Of
India and Ccylon ranking the
African specimen. It is only a
question of time when the ivory trade
will have to look around for a new
source Of material. The officer in
charge Of this room, man about sixty
years Of age. said he had been there
from boy. He said there was per-
ceptible falling of in the supply every
year. and what looked to the inexpcr-
fenced eye like such an astounding col
lection was quite small as compared
with what might have been seen twen-
